Elite Status Quo by Drew Wagar

Often looking back at games from your youth is a very bad idea as what was good then is usually not very good now. Elite was different you could spend hours of time drifting aimlessy through space hoping for that great battle.

It’s easy to say in hindsigtht that the modern online games was always a dream of mine for Elite and look at the online games indusrty now.

Buy my first copy of Elite was purely by chance. Spending my hard earned cash one Saturday I saw black box with a Gold Elite logo and I think a gold Zzap64 magazine rating of something like 96%. Having made it a policy early on to only buy highly rated games I bought Elite thinking I’d bought a commando style game. How wrong and how pleased  I was.

The beauty of those games was just the game but the contents, immercing you into a figital world like Neo into the Matrix you could be lost for hours.

The Dark Wheel was my very first games novella and added this 4th dimension to the game which I never thought possible.

I am pleased to say that when I discovered Oolite and read Oolite Status Quo it was like a gaming rebirth not only could I play the Oolite on my mac I could continue and read a whole new chapter 25 years later, shame about the wait, but it was worth it.

This is an excellent story by Drew Wagar and Oolite Status Quo is available to dowload here or at his website  and is recommended to all Oolite and Elite fans.
